[gentoo-user] Possibly copy protected CDs?

2004-02-03 Thread Mark Knecht
Hi, I've got a number of games for which I like to keep a backup copy of the CDs at the office. This saves me having to drag around the CDs and forgetting then in one place or another when the fancy strikes me to play. So far so good. This has always worked. Recently I picked up a copy of My

Shoot, I don't have it installed here, but there is an ebuild for it, and once installed, copying a CD was really easy. Basically, you use cdrdao to create an image of the cd (a set of bin/cue files), then use it again to write them to a blank CD. I got it from just looking at "man cdrdao" and tr

I used it for a data CD that was copy protected, and it worked. YMMV. :) I think these were the commands: cdrdao read-cd --device 2,0,0 --read-raw \ --datafile mydata.bin -v 99 mydata.cue Then this: cdrdao write --device 2,0,0 --overburn \ -v 99 --speed 4 mydata.cue Larry >>> [EMAIL PROT
